About the Pub
The nearest real ale pub to the sea terminal, The Albert is an unspoilt local with many regulars. It has a traditionally laid out central bar and dark-wood panelling, with a pool table in one room and interesting historic pictures of Steampacket boats in the other. Sport on TV is a frequent feature but never loud enough to spoil conversation. The drinks are reasonably priced with resident beers mostly from local breweries Okells and Bushy's. Lively Karaoke on Friday evenings.
